FAQs
Q: Does Levitate write back to Dynamics?

Q: Can multiple users connect?
A: Yes, but only one user is used for syncing data.
Q: Why aren't contacts showing up?
A: Contacts must:
- Have sufficient data
- Be assigned to a mapped user
Q: Can we use custom fields?
A: Yes—custom fields can be used for both tags and key facts.
